At that rate, we'll spend untold trillions of dolloars on eduationn over the same period we will spend 3 trillion on the legacy costs of the military over that time. You think cutting off the dragons tail will sleight the dragon, but I'm actually working on chopping off it's head. That's the difference between us. @MojoJuana It’s probably going to be more than that, as per year education spending combining federal, state, and local dollars will amount a treillion and a half a year by 2015.

That is a largely exaggerated number, however, as many of the costs included are costs that wouldc have to have been borne even in the absence of the war. During that same period we will spend 40 trillion on education. I agree that the military can be a bad thing, but you are distracted from the real problem that is government itself. @MojoJuana I’ve already heard the claims, and yes I agree that the iraq war will ost us about 3 trillion dollars…. over the long term.

It's not just about saving money, but doing more with less money. @MojoJuana No, but they should have to pay for those things based on what the consumer is willing to pay for the education of their children.
